Ms Patricia Callan:

I will return to the UL study, because it is only one we have. It states that 2.6% of employees are employed on variable hour part-time contracts. Again, it does not state whether they are working for both sides or not. By my reckoning, with 2 million people at work, that is 48,000. However, under the legislation every business and every employee would be on a notice board.
